Product Details

This COMP Cams Magnum camshaft is a hydraulic roller type, designed for Ford 221, 255, 260, 289, and 302 small block engines. It's a solid choice for street machines, offering a noticeable increase in power, particularly above 3500 RPM, while still providing good torque and a mild idle. This camshaft is built to enhance performance without making the engine rough to drive daily.

The 220/220 duration on both intake and exhaust sides means the valves are open for a similar amount of time on each stroke, contributing to a balanced power delivery. As a hydraulic roller camshaft, it generally offers reduced friction and wear compared to flat tappet designs, potentially leading to longer engine life and more consistent performance. This type of camshaft is often chosen when rebuilding or upgrading the top end of a classic Ford V8, aiming for improved responsiveness and a broader power band.

When installing this camshaft, it's important to follow the manufacturer's recommended procedures for break-in and lubrication to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Keep in mind that this camshaft is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. It's a popular upgrade for those looking to get more out of their Ford small block, especially in applications where street drivability is a priority.
